What is the slope of the line with equation y=1/2x + 3?

  1. 0

  2. 1/2

  3. 2

  4. 3

The correct answer is: 1/2

The slope of a line is represented by the coefficient of x in the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope. In this equation, the coefficient of x is 1/2, so the slope is 1/2. Option A is incorrect because a slope of 0 would result in a horizontal line, y=0x+3, which is not represented by the given equation. Option C is incorrect because a slope of 2 would result in the equation y=2x+3, which is different from the given equation. Option D is incorrect because a slope of 3 would result in the equation y=3x+3, which is also different from the given equation. Therefore, the only correct option is B 1/2.
